Broken Football 23:22 - Mar 30 with 2797 views | Heisenberg | Premier League clubs in tax avoidance on an industrial scale. Man Utd a billion in debt and Rashford holding out for 500k a week. The sooner the whole lot collapses the better. It’s broken and corrupt. I have been following football for over 50 years but am losing more and more interest every year. If it wasn’t for Saints I wouldn’t bother. | |

Broken Football on 07:52 - Mar 31 with 2683 views | solent_toffee | If it wasn’t for going to the pub before and after the game, I wouldn’t bother. It’s a business and a disingenuous, morally bankrupt, corrupt one at that. My match going experience is a complete contrast to the target audience that it’s aimed at in the year 2023 with their replica kits, betting accounts, fantasy teams, Sky Subscriptions, YouTuber influencer podcast cranks, tekkers and bantz nonsense. Your genuine match going, non selfie stick holding, match goer is a thing of the past. Although it would be interesting to see how the ‘spectacle’ would look if the grounds were half empty. | | | |

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately we are not the target market as we are not lured in by spending money on over-priced tat and applauding like we watching tennis at WImbledon! | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I think everyone on here of a certain age (majority are 40+ I would guess - I certainly am) would agree with you there ST, although one bit you needed to add though was the drink after the game as well .......... At SMS we have often said we may as well have stayed in the pub but with Saints you just never know what will happen, not sure about your lot, but we also add that the Saturday or Sunday or whatever day the TV companies decide is often ruined by the football in the middle! As Dwayne has said below, what other excuse is there to give the wife where we would have to go out and talk sh1te with your mates about, harping on about the old days of proper football! | | | |

Broken Football on 19:49 - Mar 31 with 2265 views | mushinexile | How do you buy a club for 742 million pounds and after seventeen years with debts of a Billion think to sell it on for multiple billions having lost the success that made it a great brand? If there is a beacon for the broken and corrupt establishment that is the current incarnation of the Premier League, this is it. | | | |

Broken Football on 09:35 - Apr 2 with 1985 views | kernow | Football is all about money, from top down Went to watch my local team playing Launceston yesterday. Nice to have a pint in the club house and watch a full blooded game in the pouring rain, watched by 300 die hards, magical. The club are struggling because all their best players left for more money. | | | |
